Overview
Glick’s paintings are notable for their improvisational yet rhythmic formal play. In each of her works, she juxtaposes a scrim of geometric patterns with cascades of looping gestural swirls. Reinforcing the square format of the canvas, she suspends an architecture of interconnected vertical and horizontal segments punctuated by arcs, zigs, zips and diagonals. Underlying this scaffolding are broad, free-wheeling swathes of colour interrupted by explosive splatters of pigment. Glick’s paintings, created as distinct series, walk a tightrope between movement and containment, expressiveness and restraint. They can be understood as psychological mappings of nature or depictions of heightened emotional states. Never static, they mark the passage of time, and capture the cyclical rhythms of life.
